Grisham said it appears Amanda Price may have gone outside with their dog and startled someone in the backyard. She began to scream and was shot.

Grisham said coach Ron Price, who was inside the house, was shot while responding to his wife's screams. Price was treated and released Monday night from North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. The couple's daughter, who was inside the house, was not hurt.
